Poor Girl Becomes Empress

Chapter 3: In the Emperor's Carrier

The soldiers carrying the palanquins stopped when they reached the front of the palace gate. The stretcher was lowered to the ground, some servants immediately opened the stretcher and were a little surprised to see Wei sleeping inside the stretcher.

No one dared to wake Wei up until Fengying came down from the horse to see for herself what made the servants whisper to each other with terrified faces.

"What's wrong?" fengying said making the servants even more surprised. Their reflexes prostrated themselves on the ground and begged for forgiveness.

"Please forgive us, emperor! We dare not wake the empress-to-be so as to make the emperor descend from the horse!"

Fengying did not respond to the servants, she now glanced into the palanquin. Sure enough, the girl with plump eyelashes, thin lips a little pale, thin cheeks with a face on the ground was soundly asleep. During the approximately 1-hour drive, Fengying thought Wei enjoyed the beauty of the city because not just anyone could enter it. But the girl prefers to sleep. Didn't she panic about being suddenly taken to the palace to become an empress?

Not saying much, Fengying immediately took Wei out then carried her. It made everyone there surprised not play. How could an emperor carry a lowly girl like Wei?

"Emperor, please let us bring the future empress!" pinta the servants who were still prostrating on the ground.

"Fill the pool at the empress' residence and prepare clothes for the empress. You must serve her well, lest this girl feel uncomfortable because of you!" Fengying said with her cold eyes.

The servants nodded in understanding and immediately went to the empress' residence adjacent to the emperor's residence. If running from the palace gate, they would take approximately 10 minutes. Taoming Palace is very large, inside the palace there are many residences. It consisted of the residence of the emperor, empress, royal family, concubines, ministers, healers, ladies and gentlemen, eunuchs, servants, royal chefs and warriors. In the center of the palace was a gathering place of emperors and ministers. In each residence there is a beautiful pavilion located in the middle of an artificial lake. If calculated, there may be approximately 13 artificial lakes. In the palace there are also 24 libraries, each of which is in the residence, the rest is spread outside the residence.

Fengying slightly raised Wei who was in her carriage. Wei's body was thin, he thought it would be as light as cotton. Fengying did not expect that the thin body was so heavy.

They had now arrived at the emperor's residence. It was seen that 4 women in luxurious dresses with many trinkets on their bodies were standing at the door of the Fengying residence.

"Emperor, which filthy girl is that fat emperor?!" pekik Zhuan, Fengying's first concubine. Screeched Zhuan made the other concubines stare at Fengying. The four of them immediately walked up to Fengying with eyes glaring at the hateful Wei.

The one wearing the red dress was Zhuan, the first concubine. The one wearing the blue dress was Quolin, the second concubine. The one wearing the black dress was Baoyi, the third concubine. And the one wearing the white dress was Annchi, the fourth concubine. Their faces are very pretty-beautiful on polishes with makeup. But the most outstanding among them was Zhuan. She looks the prettiest, what else is a lot of jewelry attached to her hair.

"Who is this girl?" tanya Baoyi who this time started to look a little calm. Seen from the gaze of his eyes that were no longer filled with anger.

"Hey, who are you? How dare a dirty girl like you to be carried by the emperor!" Annchi pulled Wei's hair so as to make the owner of the hair instantly open both eyes perfectly.

Wei jumped in shock and immediately descended from Fengying's sling. He was confused looking around. 'Where is he now? Have you arrived at the palace?' his inner.

Quolin took a step forward. "You're so presumptuous!" he shouted while pushing Wei's shoulder.

"Are you aware that you have been carried by the emperor?! How presumptuous of a dirty girl like you to be carried by the emperor! You must be taught a lesson immediately to be aware of your lowly status!" Zhuan continued Quolin's words, pushing Wei's shoulder to make the girl fall.

Fengying could no longer bear the madness of the four concubines. "You stop! Pay respect to the future empress. Actually you guys are presumptuous here for daring to push the empress candidate!" it was her eyes that made the four concubines shocked.

"A..what?" Baoyi looked half-believing. "There's no way that filthy girl is a future empress!"

"You are so presumptuous of the third concubine, pay your respects quickly!" Fengying helped Wei up, after which she stared at the four concubines still standing before her.

With mixed feelings, the four concubines immediately bowed to pay respect to Wei. "We salute the future empress!"

"good. Next time I see you guys being rude to the empress, I won't hesitate to lock you up to a cold prison!" threaten Fengying before she takes Wei to the empress' residence.

The cold prison was a place for the royal members who had broken the palace rules. As the name implies, cold prison is the coldest place with various torture devices. Those who have gone in there will never get out. By the time they came out, their bodies had turned blue and could no longer be saved. It is the same as the death penalty that goes through the torture stage first. Rather than go to a cold prison, they would rather receive a hanging.

While setting foot in the empress' residence, Wei was stunned by the beauty that was inside. The Queen's residence is very extensive. When just set foot there, Wei was treated to a large house on each wall with chrysanthemum flower carvings. If he walked a little further he would find a library. If he walked any further he would arrive at the artificial lake with a beautiful pavilion in the middle.

In the lake there are many lotus flowers. On the bridge leading to the pavilion were many bright lanterns. The Pavilion was no less beautiful either. The three-story pavilion made it easy to enjoy the beauty of the empress' residence.

"Come inside, tomorrow you will receive many lessons from the palace ladies" Fengying said as she watched the servants run towards them.

Wei just remained silent while nodding his head. However, upon recalling how he was in the emperor's arms earlier, the girl quickly kowtowed. The servants who had just arrived were shocked and then prostrated.

"Please forgive the valour of the servant, emperor. It's not appropriate for a servant to be carried by the emperor." he said softly but full of fear.

"Stand up, right now you don't deserve to prostrate like that. The foreheads of this state's future mother must not be soiled by the soil." Fengying helped Wei up, and again she cleared Wei's forehead.

That made Wei stunned. His heart was beating rapidly not because it was beginning to fall in love with the emperor. But because there was only someone who treated him like a human after both his parents and elder brother. What's more, their status is still like heaven and earth that makes it difficult for Wei to receive warmth from the Emperor of Taoming Kingdom.
